re: Chinese man learns what 'being different' gets you in Washington Oh dear Kall, looks like you've upset some of the yanks on that other site.
I'm sure the news coverage said that the guy didn't understand English very well ... when they asked what was in the suitcase perhaps he didn't understand ... it seems a bit odd that the police are saying he couldn't understand English and yet he responded to our question with "open them yourselves" (or whatever he said) ... sounds like the American police making up a bit of a story to me.
I can understand that the Americans must be feeling quite on edge about terrorism etc and have every right to be and the little Chinese man was silly to do what he did but I don't think he did it intentionally and I do feel a bit sorry for the poor wee man. |
